Have you ever put your keys down and then completely forgotten where to find them? The brain has to work hard to protect information in your working memory from distractions. How this process works ...

While different brain regions have distinct functional roles, increasingly these are being shown to be linked in a highly coordinated way. One way such coordination takes place is via electrical brain ...

HANOVER, GERMANY: A mannequin is fitted with a prototype of a "mental typewriter", which is an EEG (Electro Encephalogramme Measurement) Cap that processes electric impulses from the brain into ...

A growing body of brain-imaging research has mapped, with increasing precision, how the Amazonian psychedelic brew ayahuasca rewires electrical activity across the human brain. The latest contribution ...

In A Nutshell Researchers used focused sound waves to temporarily quiet the amygdala in healthy adults, reaching a deep brain structure without surgery. When the amygdala was dampened, participants ...

When electrical activity travels across the brain, it moves like ripples on a pond. The motion of these "brain waves," first observed in the 1920s, can now be seen more clearly than ever before thanks ...
